what are you eating?

[Atsaukina1]

So I know a lot of us were on some sort of diet. Boy moms eating a lot better than us girl moms. So are you trying to eat better now? The first thing to go on me to let me know I need to up my nutrients is my gum health. Every prego I start to get the bleeding gums I never get. Now after nursing 4 years straight(nursed through prego, then #3 weaned and onto #4) and now nursing and prego again I know my nutrients are going for everyone else except me lol. I am a major junk foody but am really trying to eat better. I will still have junk but at least will make sure I get the good stuff in first. So share yummy food your eating junk or healthy:)

Iv started filling up really quickly.......cant finish a meal......this is usually a girl sign for me so this week im back at girl lol


I wish i felt like that - I could eat a scabby horse right now and all day long infact.

So far this morning ive had

7am 2 pieces of toast and jam
8.30am 2 hot cross buns toasted with butter
10.15 - a pecan and toffee danish swirl

Its only 10.30 am !!! I literally want dry carby stuff like crisps, bread, buns, pastries. The thought of fruit, yoghurts ets just does not appeal thoug i did force myself to eat some grapes last night and I am making sure i drink freshly squeezed fruit juices to get some goodness into me.

Lunch will probably be a cheese salad mayo wrap and some crisps

[Pearl327]

Mmmmmm cinnamon raisin bread. Pearl makes mental note to pick some up on the way home from work.

Mum23 sweet carby foods was all I wanted with DD. I was a cake monster. Let's hope this is a good sign for you.

This morning again was blueberry porridge with super milk and a glass of OJ. I am trying to have a healthy breakfast

I was then in training in work from 9 till 11. Starving when I came out. Just had a mug of tea and 3 dr kargs

I am having a baked potato with cheese and beet root and ginger chutney for lunch

I have yogurt and fruit for my afternoon snack

I think dinner tonight will be a bean burger, coleslaw, tomato and oven chips as DH is helping his BIL finish off their nursery and I will be cooking for 1 as well as trying to stop DD pulling the Christmas tree down on top of herself

[NearlyDone]

I just had a full english.......the full feeling seems to be an evening thing even if iv not eaten much so going to try and eat a big breakfast/lunch from now on......i love food hate not being able to indulge but as im already a stone up :/ (at booking) i guess its a good thing

[Mum23boys]

OMG GIRLS ITS 10am and I am sat here with a jacket spud with tuna and salad cream !>?! WTF ???
I needed something warm to eat and i saw the spuds and just couldnt stop myself !!!

[Pearl327]

Ha ha mum, you did the right thing going for it. I have a part baked one in the fridge in work waiting for lunch time. I wish I had salad cream for it though. I love that stuff. I am munching my way through a tub of celebrations at the min. There are too many sweets in the office this time of year.

[Atsaukina1]

what is salad cream lol.
9:20 am here and I had a vit c drink w/ potatoes,eggs,and corn tortillas(of course w/ hotsauce on top :)

[Tiggerian]

Salad cream is like a low fat condiment type of thing. Often used to replace dressing or mayonnaise.

[Pearl327]

Salad cream is a nicer version of the American Miracle Whip. It is made from vinegar, oil, eggs, cream and spices so definitely not a low fat option

[Mum23boys]

OMG You havent had salad cream - i love it with chips, potatoes, cheese ..... I should post you some over.

[Atsaukina1]

omg I'm gonna gag lol sorry I'm prego I have an exuse:) I eat a lil mayo on my sandwhiches spread very thin or in egg salad or salmon salad(salmon,mayo,sweet relish) in sandwhich. otherwise I am not a mayo person. I remeber when I went to Malta and the fries came w/ a big glob of mayo like we would have ketsup lol maybe that was salad cream :) I didn't eat it though:)

mum- just re-read you tuna meal and kinda sounds like my salmon salad but I always eat canned salmon instead of tuna:)

mmmm now I want an egg salad sandwhich on rye:)

never did get my egg salad sandwhich lol but for dinner I had slice of pizza, amy's frozen food- veggie enchilada w/ rice and beans. then a donut and coffee crumb cheesecake (about 1/2 a container lol about 40fat grams take that le diet lol) some milk

[Mum23boys]

[Pearl327]

The eggs in the mcmuffins are real eggs. Just broken into a metal circle on a hot plate. The scrambled eggs come out of a carton like milk. I wouldn't be into that. I used to work in mcD for 6 months during college, so I have the inside info.
